Dalton Industries '16-'23 Polaris General 1000 Clutch Kits

The Polaris General is a versatile vehicle that comes with 27" tires, which are well-suited for general use and mixed terrain at elevations up to 3500 feet. With stock tires, the vehicle performs well without the need for clutch adjustments. However, if you decide to upgrade to larger tires, such as 28" trail tires, it may impact the vehicle's performance and clutching.

Adding larger tires to the General 1000 can lead to decreased performance, as it has different lower gearing and characteristics compared to the 1000 S model. In such cases, a clutch kit can be installed to improve belt life and performance. The kit includes Dalton Quick Adjust flyweights and a setup guide for accurate clutch tuning based on your tire size and conditions. This upgrade will enhance acceleration and back shifting when the vehicle is under load.

When it comes to the General XP, which is the 64-inch wide version of the vehicle, it not only comes with larger tires but also has a lower final drive ratio. The clutch calibration in the CVT system is crucial for controlling the rate of shift of the belt, which is influenced by the vehicle's horsepower and final drive gearing. Since the General XP has different characteristics, clutch calibration may require different adjustments, components, or spring rates. It's important to thoroughly test the vehicle in various situations, tire sizes, and terrains to determine the appropriate clutch setup. As of now, the specific clutch recommendations for the General XP are unavailable as it has not been extensively tested.
